jtp’s furst diwali experience
Aw, was he afraid??
nope, he was turning his head this way and that way looking at them. but they are not bursters, so ….
Little cutie. Him, not you.
Big cutie? I’ll take it.
You’re not getting it.
:lol: Your eyelashes are lovely.
#lotsaworktogetitright
amk, I saw that you were first and I still wrote first.
don’t get it.
1st!
I’m off to run errands.
Spoooooky Adams Family Dance :cool:
:oops: wrong dance…
Try this one :)
The other one works too! 😀
i’m having a hard time finding any clip of that time president obama invited lyin paul ryan in the front row for a speech, and then took apart the scam of the supposed “ryan budget” that “the news” had be flogging incessantly. i remember it being really brilliant, yet when searching around mostly i just see clips that promote the talking points spewed by lyin ryan. feeling like the republican operatives have figured out how to game internet searches now too with their propaganda. does anyone know where a clip of that might be? wanted to see it now that lyin ryan, with the help of “the news,” will be ramping up their false attacks again, and should be fun to see president obama bat them around like cat toys.
I remember that like it was yesterday, I also remember V.P. Biden putting both of his feet in Ryan’s ass at the same time during the Vice Presidential debate.
is this the one? “President Barack Obama Addresses Deficit Reduction at The George Washington University”
Yeah, it is. Here’s little Paulie’s butt hurt response…
yes, thank you!!!
wwwhhhat? don’t look at me, blame hf.
Okay folks, I almost never do something like this, but my grandson is in a contest and needs some votes.
If you go and like this face book entry he has a chance.
Look at the gorgeous little sweetheart!!!! He will break many a heart when he grows up! I can’t even help Japa, I’m not on Facebook, but wishing him victory!
Obviously, does not take after his grandfather.
If he does, I’m going to kidnap you and marry you.
Well, then he does take after his grandfather.
hello japa jr, jr. cute boy. best wishes for a win.
Too cute! I “liked”
Thank you.
Like Chips…I don’t do FB, but hope he gets a prize!! Adorable!!
Indiana Jones! 😍
His dad’s favorite character.
He’s so cute! I’m not on FB, but I think he sure deserves to win! Good luck to your grandson. :)
Done! What a doll!! He;s got a certain happy swagger. :)
Done! He’s a real cutie!
my girls in wta finals. 8-)
I love and admire the accomplishments of your girls but how come I don’t hear their successes being talked about very much in this stupid American media (suspect that they make the headlines in India);
ps, could you please mention their names => we need to learn their names (branding, branding, ….., branding)
Their names are Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis :-)
thanks a lot
on the left is swiss miss, martina hingis and on the right is indian miss, sania mirza. the former was a former world no. 1 in singles and the latter has been ruling wimmins doubles for some time with different partners form martina navratilova, cara black to hingis.
Awesome, amk!
Very Kool!
Scott Walker here:
I just wanna make it clear, this is NOT a selfie. It’s a commissioned portrait of me. Okay, how was I to know we commissioned the same guy who did Bobby Jindal in whiteface. Look, I don’t know anything about art. I barely finished high school. [phone rings]… Hello. David? David Koch, is that you? Uh…Yessir, I’m very sorry about that incident the day. What’s you say? “Bumbling idiot!”… Well sir, I don’t… Uh… Well um… Yes, sir. Certainly, anything you say, but … listen do you think you could lend me… [click]… hello? Uh, David?…
^5!
LOL! Perfect:)
Excellent!
<3
You want to throw up? Yesterday I saw a big sign inside one of those bus stop waiting areas that said “Guns Save Lives” I almost ran off the damn road!
Ugh!
BTW, U - in doing my backup reading I noticed somewhere that your female offspring was doing her mother proud (and that you were honing in on the credit)! Good for her; hope she is also proud of herself! Wishing her continued success in her field and personally!
Thanks maureen. kinda late to the party, aren’t we? /smh
Obama took his time getting the invitation to me! :(
right, everything is kenyan’s fault.
You *do* understand! No wonder you’re running to make *Amercia*great again.
Rubio here, being helped by these wonderful patriots is one of my most patriotic duties. Who cares about the lame senate, I’m shutting for the President.
toads are liked.
Good morning……..camping anyone? ;-D
Just a bit of exercise! :D Wonder if they all made it - (clearly they weren’t terrified enough to forget about some of their equipment)?
Good Morning, YA. Were you the photographer? ;)
NEVAH! :-)
:D :D
The Bear is loose! I repeat… The Bear is loose!!! 😂😂😂
We camp all the time here in MT and have dealt with many animals but not the bears. We deal with them walking down the street by our house in town not in the forest.
Maybe you should move to the woods, eh? ;-)
We have thought about it but the bears only come in the spring and the fall. After all these years if we don’t see one we feel like we have missed out. Also we have lived in the same area for 30 years. Lots of bears but no lost animals or people beacuse of any wild animals. Feel very blessed.
not very smart to run from a bear. They can run up 30 miles an hour.
Therefore the slowest one………
off to tutor…bbl
Saturday greetings to you all!
I can see that Don is up and about, but I haven’t noticed any signs of NerdyW. Hope all is well for, and with, her and other Texans and that they haven’t had any adverse results from excess rain/flooding.
Hopefruit, you certainly have been busy! Thanks for your commitment to laughter for this annual TOD
tricktreat. ;)++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mavreen Dowdy NEWS UPDATE: Swaggering Obama 2025/10/31
Obama has always radiated the smug air that he was right and any other positions were illogical. But it is gratifying when aimed at the obnoxious Republicans and more obnoxious Bibi. However, on the issue of criminal justice reform he does have some bipartisan support, so it’s a bit over the top for him to be jabbering about ‘I met with’…’I visited’… ‘I sat down with’ …. ‘I traveled’….’I ..I..I-I-I’. Give ‘I…I …I’ a rest, Obama; everyone has a role to play ….and they are playing it on this issue. :roll:
aand I am outta here
Gunnite amk, er..I mean, Trump. Sleep tite! Don’t let Ben Carson bite!
Ha!
The out-of-control GOP pattern was set after Sarah Palin declared in 2008 that interviewers and debate moderators could ask whatever they pleased, but she would use her time to discuss what ever she wanted to—-moderators and their questions be damned.
Like the tea party monster—GOP—you created this and you own it.
I wonder if debates with the GOP can recover and be useful ever again.
Agreed. If we never see another GOP primary debate, I’m fine with it!
Word-salad express will prevail….
Good Afternoon Everybody.
President Obama is golfing today at the Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD.
Mavreen Dowdy
BREAKING NEWS : Golfing Obama 2025/10/31
Unlike Bush, Obama seems to be on the golf course every time I turn around. He must be happy with the way the presidential primaries are unfolding on both sides. After all, Obama detoured from the usual route — supporting your vice president — and basically passed the torch to Hillary. Some in Obama’s circle still do not understand why he laid out the red carpet for his former rivals.
They can’t be in his circle if they don’t understand why he laid out the red carpet for his former rivals.
[Finally seeing my notification again!]
Excuse me, but Obama’s circle is so huge he himself does not know who
should beis in it! Also, let’s not forget that in his inexperience he has been very slow to realize that he is not the one to determine who is/is not included. That’s our job as media experts!Trey Howdy here, Dowdy, I know you folks in the MSM are in the tank for Hillary! Where are you hiding her BENGHAZI!! e-mails?
:-d
Oh please, nice try! When you have been a serious reporter as I have, you know how to keep your sources close to your chest.
Ok, so what’s the Halloween list this year, and who am I playing?
LL, there’s a list of who everybody is on the Hopefruit’s Halloween Horrors thread. your an arrogant egg on twitter that has 2 fans, probably a Bernie supporter.
Ooo, I can do that!
He like me! He really, really like me! Obama and my family have a special bond; he, my daddy and my big brother all belong to the POTUS Club. I’ll be joining them on Junuary 21, 2017!
L’il KimDaDoDoDeDeDaDa, checking in on this heathen day of ‘celebrating’ all the macabre evil in this world, all while I am very VERY busy writing my #1-bestselleron-the-nyt-#bestsellingbooksofALLTIME! PRE-ORDER your signed copy now, I will personally sign (yeah right) each pre-ordered copy for the first one million admirers. Note: there is a very special chapter all about the serious discussion I had with Pope Francis, and his devotion to my cause of hating everyone who is different from me.
Just wondering, Kim - as myself, you know - as a true-blooded Christian are you supposed to be participating in Hallowe’en activities? Wouldn’t that be one of the things your Bible explicitly advises against (consorting with the devil)?
A-hem, and A-men, uh, MoDo, do I ever give the impression of not meaning exactly what I say I mean? I mean, did you or did you not read my message, or did the part about ‘evil & heathen’ make no dent in your grasp of my chrisian, god-like purity?? Geez, and golly gee whiz. Go read it again, and get back to me. Geez
We-ell, it wasn’t Dowdy asking the question; it was me. Dowdy doesn’t have too much exposure to the Christian experience….I don’t think. :D
Hello, Hair-on-fire Emoprog here,
I have listened to PBO’s Weekly Address where he focuses on reforming the justice system;
okay, I have a few things to say about this:
- if he is to reform the system, he must start with pardoning the “patriot snowden”;
- why is PBO talking about working with people from other parties in order to do this, he should instead go ahead and declare that it has to be the Dem’s way alone (we need no stinking people from other parties);
- instead of working to get votes and permanent policy on justice reform, PBO should just go ahead and issue and executive order and be done will it
President Obama reminds of the kids I knew in high school that were in AP classes and you never saw them during the school day. It was like they were on a completely different level than the rest of the kids, it’s like they walked into school first thing in the morning and disappeared into some secret underground layer. I never antagonized those kids, I would just look at them and say to myself “where the fuck are those motherfuckers going.”
See? There are lots of good people in the world.
Chris Matthews peeking in:
***Warning: Watch out for the spittle!***
The GOP has evolved into a party that is no longer recognizable. They are inspired by the likes of Ted Cruz, Chris Christe…my God…Donald Trump and Ben Carson!!!
But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…Barack Obama is still the one the sends thrills up my leg. I’ve been criticized for saying he inspires me…but to hell with my critics! When you’re in a room with Obama, you feel the spirit. Moving.
Trey Howdy here. Another Hillary supporter! What do you know about BENGHAZI!!!?, and when did you know it? I’m watching you Matthews!
No, I’m watching *YOU*, Gowdy. Explain what you were able to glean from the 11 hours of harassment /hearings. Tell tax payers about the wasted 4.6 million tax dollars that it cost for you to badger former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about her email!!! [The spittle flies.] What about you firing a whistle-blower in retaliation for refusing to target Hillary Clinton. When are you going to say enough!?!?!?!? That your committee needs to move on and act on the lessons learned and stop with campaigning for the GOP…not that it seems to be doing the GOP any good.
LOL
Tweety Swoons! 😍
Tweety, is your wife still running for congress? Please do tell…
Yes, and of course I will support her just as any spouse would do…just like Bill is supporting Hillary.
And of course, I will continue to be transparent. There will be no “scandal-gates” attached to this campaign! I don’t work for FOX and my name isn’t Joe…I like my job too much and (MS)NBC suspends or fires for stuff like that.
NAILED IT! And note: Black face NOT needed… This is how you RESPECTFULLY dress y[ as someone of a different race…
Excellent!
What a precious child. Malcolm X is his hero and I love that.
For small fires only………!
That is so cute.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A Republican photographer…..
NBC has hit rock bottom. It is currently showing the Rugby Final between Australia & New Zealand - Whaaaat?!!!
What has happened to that once mighty network? This is what happens when you forsake integrity, you end up sucking on the teats of whatever monster willing to offer you a few dollars.
It’s sad, truly sad!
Sounds good to me - teaching geography via sport :)
Happy Halloween TOD! Thanks Hopefruit for putting all of this together. I see folks are already dressed up and partying. Worked on my costume a bit before bed last night. I’ll go put it on but not before wishing Nerdy a safe, dry day (I see Don seems to be fine and all dressed up as the creepy doctor).
Too cute for words! 😍❤️😍
That just made my day.
😄
Chat away

Ha, ha, ha… Beginning of the end for the brain sugeon… Donald dump will git his soon… I’ll be the last man standing!!!!
Good Afternoon y’all. Judge Gerald “Gerry” Mandering here. Sorry I’m late for the party but I just flew back from a nice golfing vacation in Scotland that David Koch was kind enough to invite me on. His daddy and mine were in the John Birch society together.
Getting ready to rule on an affirmative action case involving the local university. I’ve never believed that a person’s background should influence admissions. I got into college the old fashioned way: my grandfather funded the school’s gymnasium.
